The best restaurants serving British food in Rottingdean Coastal Brighton and Hove South East

I am a regular visitor of this little gem. I love everything they sell! Their cakes are gorgeous, they offer a delicious selection of healthy colourful salads, the coffee is decent and their toastiest are to die for! So happy to have this so close to me. Staff are always very friendly too.

Good service, lovely Matcha Latte’s!

Good ambience and beach views. Our £17 glass of champagne was served in a plastic glass! Nachos were tasty and fresh.

Great food served hot and on hot plates, the bar and waiting staff are simply amazing and a credit to the proprietors, highly recommend the Sunday Roast….first class

A lovey cafe that is a real gem, do a full breakfast and lunch menu. You can sit inside and admire all the arts and crafts items for sale. Or if you prefer to sit outside. The staff are really caring and friendly

This place does excellent coffee and the staff are really friendly. The kids also enjoyed the selection of sweet treats.

A quaint tea room in the heart of Rottingdean. Delicious home cooked food with generous portions. The staff are extremely friendly and kind.

Received a gift box of cheeses, cured meats and craft beers from The Great British Charcuterie. Some wonderful flavours all round, and as a gift it was all very well-wrapped and presented and delivered swiftly. Would definitely think of sending as a gift to someone else as a bit more unusual.

Muy útil en el centro cafe tarner. La comida tiene buena aunque no comimos. Yo tenía un servicio encantador y un chocolate caliente y sabrosa en un ambiente agradable para bebés

Staff very happy and polite. You wait a bit longer than most places, but cooked fresh. Grey and wet day but still busy

Had a fantastic Christmas lunch in here today. Great food lovely atmosphere and “ALL” the staff were amazing especially jules. Just a lovely Day thank you to Sean too great job. Be back soon. Neil and family

All good. Excellent venue to meet up with friends before Christmas 🎅 🎄

We are regulars at Cafe Zio. Lovely food whether you want breakfast or late lunch, staff always very friendly and attentive. I always recommend to friends and family.

A lacklustre experience on more than one occasion. There is no notification when you walk in that service is via the bar which only has one person serviing or via the QR code. Tonight no apple sauce or brown sauce! Starters cleared away but menus left on the table! I have been for breakfast on seven occasions and they have only had black pudding which is advertised on the menu on one occasion with an array of excuses as to why it is not available. Very often breakfast replenishment is slow, you have to wait for a chicken to lay an egg for it to be cooked and added to the breakfast bar. Service is non existent, it is self service in every sense of the word. The carvey was ok though. This place is crying out for table sevice for the complete service offer excluding the carvery of course, in my opinion.

I ate at this restaurant whilst staying in the attached hotel. Service was good and food was excellent. I visited on a Thursday evening when there was a ‘half price steak’ night which excellent value. The wine list was limited but with a good selection of options available.
